Chapter 1243 The women of the Yan family can spend money however they want
After breakfast.
Shen Qing took her two children and mother-in-law out.
On the road.
An'an said, "Mom, I also want to go shopping with you and Grandma."
"You still have to go to school today. Mom will take you there when we have time."
Then Kang Kang spoke up, "Mom, when can I stop going to school?"
"You should go to school when it's time to go to school, and you can only rest when it's time to rest."
"Okay!" Kang Kang agreed somewhat helplessly.
At this moment, Yang Juan said with a smile, "An'an and Kang Kang, when you have a holiday, come to Grandma's to play. Grandma will take you to the supermarket."
"Okay, Grandma, next time we have a holiday we'll ask Mom to take us to your place."
“Okay, Grandma welcomes you anytime.”
Shen Qing curled the corners of her lips, "You two little gluttons only know how to go to the supermarket."
“Mom, we not only like going to the supermarket, we also like going to the supermarket with Grandma.”
"..."
Shen Qing knew that the fact that the two children liked being with their grandmother so much meant that their grandmother treated them very well.
Shen Qing dropped An An and Kang Kang off at school.
Then he took Yang Juan to the largest shopping mall in the vicinity.
Actually, she had been wanting to take her mother-in-law shopping for clothes for a while now, in preparation for her father-in-law's birthday banquet.
On the day of the birthday banquet, although the father-in-law was the main character, the mother-in-law, as his wife, also had to dress appropriately and smartly to match the festive occasion.
She wanted to pick out a suitable outfit for her mother-in-law and a piece of exquisite jewelry so that her mother-in-law could look radiant at the birthday banquet.
Because the mother-in-law had never met any prominent figures before. After all, the Yan family held a very high position in the capital, and on that day, there would definitely be some prominent figures present.
My mother-in-law can't let anyone else outdo her. She's a woman, and she understands women best.
Shen Qing stopped the car. "Mom, we've arrived."
"it is good!"
Shen Qing and Yang Juan got off the bus.
Shen Qing took her mother-in-law's arm and said with a smile, "Mom, this won't do. It's Dad's 66th birthday, such an important day. You have to look your best."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Her heart warmed by her words, and her smile deepened: "You're such a thoughtful child, always considering everything."
The two walked into the mall chatting and laughing.
Upon entering the mall, the dazzling array of goods is overwhelming.
Shen Qing led her mother-in-law straight to the women's clothing section.
She knew her mother-in-law's preferences; she didn't like anything too flashy or ostentatious, but it had to have a certain quality and festive colors.
She could tell from the clothes her mother-in-law usually wore.
I walked into a cheongsam shop.
"Mom, what do you think of this one?" Shen Qing picked up a dark red, modernized cheongsam embroidered with delicate peony patterns. "This color suits your skin tone, and the style is elegant. It's perfect for your birthday banquet, making you look both festive and dignified."
Grandma Yang Juan took the cheongsam, held it up against herself, looked in the mirror, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "Hmm, the color is quite right, and the fabric is comfortable too."
But then she hesitated, "Qingqing, do you think I'm old enough to look good in this?"
"Of course. If you like it, go ahead and try it on. I'm sure it will look great on you; trust my judgment."
After Shen Qing said that, Yang Juan nodded, "Alright then!"
Yang Juan walked into the fitting room.
A short while later, she came out wearing a cheongsam.
The elderly woman in the mirror, though no longer young, looked much more energetic thanks to the gentle and graceful temperament accentuated by the cheongsam and the perfect shade of red, which brought a blush to her face.
My mother-in-law is sixty years old this year, but she looks like she's in her fifties.
Therefore, Yang Juan looked even younger when she wore this outfit.
"It's beautiful! So beautiful!" Shen Qing exclaimed sincerely. "Mom, this is the one! It's practically tailor-made for you."
Looking at herself in the mirror, the mother-in-law couldn't help but smile: "You have such good taste, child."
After buying the clothes, Shen Qing took her mother-in-law to the jewelry section. "Mom, now that we have the clothes, a piece of jewelry would make it even more perfect."
Yang Juan hesitated, "Qingqing, let's skip the jewelry."
"Mom, how can you just leave out the jewelry? Don't forget you're a daughter-in-law of the Yan family now. Only fine clothes and jewelry are worthy of you. On that day, all the ladies coming will be wealthy and noble. They say they're attending a birthday banquet, but it's really just a beauty contest."
Yang Juan smiled. "Really?"
"Of course, Mom, you don't understand those people at all."
"I really don't know. I've never seen such a big event before. I only saw that many people when I had my wedding with your father."
"Mom, this time you must dress up beautifully and outshine all those people."
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Yang Juan instantly gained confidence.
Step into the jewelry store.
Shen Qing carefully selected, "Mom, if you have anything you like or have your eye on, you can tell me and I'll help you decide."
"Qingqing, I don't really understand these things either, so could you help me take a look?"
"That's okay!"
Finally, Shen Qing took a liking to a pearl necklace. The round pearls had a soft luster, and the pendant was a small "福" (fortune) character.
"Mom, look at this pearl necklace. It's round and full, and it has a good meaning. Wearing it makes you look elegant and gentle."
"Here, let me help you try it on."
"All right!"
Shen Qing helped her fasten the clasp, creating a beautiful embellishment around her neck. "It looks so good, Mom. Your skin is so fair, pearls suit you perfectly."
Yang Juan touched the pearl around her neck, feeling its smooth texture, and was overjoyed: "You know what, it really suits me."
“Mom, women should dress up and adorn themselves,” Shen Qing said.
Yang Juan smiled. "I used to think that just dressing neatly was enough. But after hearing what you said, it seems that's not the case."
"Mom, being clean and tidy is just the simplest aspect. In a few days it will be Dad's birthday banquet. The Yan family is hosting a birthday banquet, and the Yan family members must make a good impression. Especially the women of the Yan family."
"Mmm." Yang Juan nodded. "I understand."
"Alright, Mom, we've bought everything we needed. Let's go!"
“Okay! By the way, Qingqing,” Yang Juan said.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
Yang Juan took out some money and handed it to Shen Qing, saying, "You paid for the clothes and cleaning today, so here's the money. I can't let you spend money on me for nothing."
"Mom, let's just forget about it. This little bit of money is nothing. In the Yan family, women can spend it however they want, and so can you."
